GLOUCESTERSHIRE V SURREY
at Bristol (Royal London One-Day Cup), 18 AUGUST 2015
Both Surrey and Gloucestershire
were unbeaten in this year's Royal London One-Day Cup going into the
last two rounds of group matches. But, now, assuming Yorkshire
overcome Northants at Headingley today, whichever team loses this
game will face an unexpected away tie in the quarter-finals.
The keeper-batsman duo of
Gareth Roderick and Geraint Jones have really come to the fore with
the bat for Gloucestershire in the Royal London, and Benny Howell
has chipped in on a regular basis; which is just as well because the
Bristolians are missing anchor man Michael Klinger (307 one-day runs at an average of
102.33), who has hit
hundreds against Somerset and Durham.
Howell's all-round contribution
is not to be under-estimated. The former Hampshire man is conceding
just 4.71 runs per over with the ball in the One-Day Cup,
freeing up Craig Miles (12 wickets at 26.41 runs apiece) and David Payne
(12 at 29.91) to inflict the damage. Also, keep an eye out for
19-year-old off-spinner Miles Hammond, who took 2-18 at Northampton
today, albeit in a losing cause.
Nothing significant in the
offing, unless I've missed something.

On their day, Gloucestershire are capable of beating anyone. Like
Surrey, they have embraced the Royal London Cup since being
eliminated from the NatWest T20 Blast at the group stage; talking of
which, who could forget the Oval outift's thrilling last ball
victory when the two went head-to-head in front of the tv cameras at
the start of July? While Surrey came closest to being the
Bristolians' bogey side between 1999 and 2004 (during their run of
seven Lord's final appearances), the two have landed equal blows
since then in one-day cricket. Both are currently without their
chief overseas player, but, on paper Surrey have the edge on
quality, especially in Davies and Roy. I'm damned if I do and I'm
damned if I don't, but the Oval outfit should win this one,
shouldn't they?
